But I’ve volunteered with CARE a bunch and as much as I talk a big game of anti American sentiment I’ll probably still sympathize with them and try to help them if it comes to that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) You'll probably enjoy reading, or better, listening to, the Cuba chapter in World War Z, if you haven't already. Lots of American refugee schadenfreude, and even some redemption, in it. As with all things WWZ, the audiobook reigns supreme. As someone exploring emigration options, I just want someplace where I can work an honest job, respect a different culture and society and appreciate its willingness to give me a chance, and feel safe(r). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) I read that book when it first came out.
